Leonid Hambro and Jascha Zayde were staff pianists at WQXR in New York, where they frequently performed together on the air. Their natural rapport led to extensive concertizing and a series of recordings for Enoch Light's Command label. These Magnificent Two-Piano Performances of French music were hailed by reviewers and collectors alike and are freshly reinvigorated in these sterling transfers by David Price. Sourced from an original Command reel tape release, the stereo sonics are lifelike and vivid, with only a few minor transient tape flaws. There is some low-level tape hiss but Mr Price felt preserving the brilliance of the audio required that undue noise reduction not be employed.
